Mu Qing waited until Murong Yu calmed down before gently pushing him away.
He laughed and said, "Fool."
Murong Yu wasn't angry at Mu Qing for calling him silly. Standing beside him, he radiated happiness.
Yu Xiaoyao tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, feeling somewhat unable to bear the sight.
Yu Guang secretly glanced at Ming Hongyi and saw that the other party had lowered his eyes and was thinking about something.
Unbeknownst to Yu Xiaoyao, while he was staring blankly at Mu Qing and Murong Yu, Ming Hongyi's gaze had been fixed on him. Only when he tilted his head back to drink did Ming Hongyi withdraw her gaze.
It has to be said that Ming Hongyi's understanding of Yu Xiaoyao was quite profound, even surpassing Yu Xiaoyao's own understanding of him.
Xie Aotian didn't feel anything was wrong; he was already very content with his older brother by his side.
"He will definitely take good care of his elder brother, provide him with enough cultivation resources, and help him ascend to immortality. They will ascend to the immortal realm together. As for a partner or something, he doesn't have the time for that," Xie Aotian thought to himself.
Seeing that he had indeed misunderstood Mu Qing, Wang Xia bowed to Mu Qing and Murong Yu and said, "I apologize, I misunderstood. I hope you will forgive me."
Mu Qing nodded and smiled, "It's alright."
Seeing that the person had a clear and upright appearance, I couldn't help but offer a word of advice: "Cherish the people in front of you."
After speaking, he glanced at the person hidden in the shadows not far away.
Xie Aotian originally didn't intend to pay attention to Wang Xia, but his gaze swept over Xie Lanzhi, who was sitting next to him and had stopped playing with the Lingling Pearl at some point, and was now staring at him with a silly grin.
He thought to himself, "Fine, for the sake of my brother, I'll let him show some kindness."
Xie Aotian looked at Wang Xia, who was about to turn and leave, and stopped him, saying, "Wait."
Wang Xia turned around and looked at Xie Aotian with some confusion.
Xie Aotian, not wanting to waste time with him, said directly, "If I understand correctly, you were just standing up for Shuang Feiyan, right?"
Wang Xia blushed and bowed to Xie Aotian, saying, "I misunderstood you, senior. I apologize."
Xie Aotian casually leaned against the stone table, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, and said mockingly, "The person you should apologize to is not me."
"Carrying a token of love from our Xie family's daughter, you come to me to stand up for another woman, ha!"
Wang Xia subconsciously touched the magic bead at his waist.
This was left by the person who saved him when he accidentally entered the Poison Abyss Secret Realm a few years ago. After he left the secret realm, the person closest to him was Shuang Feiyan, so he assumed that the person who saved him was Shuang Feiyan.
Now, hearing what the Xie family head said, it seems that the person who saved him is someone else, and moreover, someone from the Xie family.
Wang Xia said anxiously, "Please enlighten me, Patriarch Xie."
Xie Xinyao, who appeared to stop him, was frozen in place by Xie Aotian's magic.
Wang Xia, in his heightened emotions, did not notice.
The other people in the courtyard noticed, but no one stopped them.
Xie Aotian scoffed, "Kid, you don't know what you're wearing, do you?"
"These are the Love Pearls, a family heirloom of the Xie family, passed down to daughters only, not sons. They are a pair, two in total."
"It is a pair of seventh-grade defensive magic artifacts. The protective effect is doubled when the two concentric beads are used together. They can withstand attacks from cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage, and even a single bead can withstand attacks from cultivators below the Mahayana stage."
"It will automatically activate when the wearer is in mortal danger."
"I don't need to elaborate on how rare it is, do I?"
"In the entire Xie family, only one person currently possesses this."
Xie Aotian sat up straight, released Xie Xinyao's immobilization spell, and said sternly with a dark face, "Xie Xinyao, do you know your crime?"
Xie Xinyao lowered her head and said reluctantly, "Xinyao knows her crime."
